Actually, it's spelled "y'all" with an apostrophe, not a hyphen. Y'all is a contraction of "you" and "all". Ya'll would be a contraction of some word starting with "ya" and "all".

The only people from Texas that I've known who've spelled it ya'll have been idiots.

I thought the plural was "y'all all" as in "y'all all have to come over some time."

I thought the plural was: y'all'ns

And as for whether or not it's proper english, those rules were thrown out long ago.

Not "Haven't you heard?", EventServices...it is "Ain't you heard?"! (Oh, and we in Texas usually say "cain't" instead of "can't", too. And some even use a double negative in your last sentence to make it "You cain't hold people to rules no more!"))
